The locust plague is a serious natural disaster, even if Lao Liu has made so many preparations and invested so many manpower and material resources, even Xiao Miaomiao has called so many friends to call friends, and he has been fighting these locusts seriously for two days.

To put it more strictly than that, the battle lasted only one day, and the rest of the time was in a semi-combat state, and many crops were gnawed by these locusts.

There were really too many locusts, and Lao Liu and the others could only watch dryly. Non-stop exercise, even if it is not heavy physical strength, is very taxing on people.

And those main forces of the air force that exterminate locusts, you see that they can fly in the sky for a long time in normal times. Now that they're fighting, the physical drain on them is also very large.

Not to mention that there are still those who are constantly injured, and these can only be put in the house for them to recuperate. This means that Miao Miao's ability is great, and there are enough friends called, otherwise all the crops on Lao Liu's side will be harmed by these locusts.

Lao Liu's wave can be said to be on the front line of the fight against the locust plague, killing countless locusts. After the media reports, people felt that it was a miracle, and it turned out that the locust plague could really be resisted.

It's just that there are many people who still remain rational, and the reason why this is a miracle is because this thing cannot be replicated.

First you have to have start-up capital, and second you have to have someone.

People have seen the situation on the news, how many people are gathered here, and then there are those coffee trees and the blackout cloths on the tea trees, and so many tools. Even eating and drinking, this time at least hundreds of thousands of dollars will have to be spent.

Is it worth such a large investment just to reduce the loss of some crops? Isn't it fragrant to use this money to buy grain?

This is a very normal thought, although the meaning of Lao Liu's fight against the locust plague here is to save the areas behind his farm from the locust plague, but this is equivalent to dedication.

Secondly, this time we were able to achieve such a good result because of the great help of those animals. If there were no animals and only these people on the farm, this great anti-locust cause would have ended in failure.

Therefore, this cannot be replicated, and it is impossible that every time there is a locust plague, there are exactly so many birds trying to catch grasshoppers flying in the sky.

It's just that so many factors have come together to have such a miraculous success. But judging from the videos taken by reporters, at least more than 30% of the crops on Liu Wenrui's farm have been damaged.

This is still a conservative estimate, after all, the view is not very comprehensive, and the further you go to the farm, the more damage you will suffer. Even now, there are a lot of grasshoppers scurrying around the farm, but they can't stay in as many groups as they did when they came.

Lao Liu was lying on the ground, the color of his body was also very good-looking, and now he enjoyed his baby girl feeding him yogurt. He was really tired, and he hadn't slept properly.

"Boss, that's all it takes to fight the flood, right?" Liu Wenrui asked with a smile when the little guy lifted another box of yogurt and licked the lid.

Chen Cheng was not much better than him, and poured a large mouthful of milk with his neck, "We can't compare with that, at least our lives are not in danger." It's just that I'm tired, and I'm just drinking some milk now to come back to my senses. ”

"I've thought about it, I'll take a vacation and sleep for three days and three nights. I'll tell you in advance, I don't have as good physical strength as you. Don't look for me for anything these two days, I'll just go to sleep. ”

"Haha, you're just thinking about it now. It really makes you sleep, and it's going to die for a day. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Simon, you're really amazing. ”

As soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, Harvey's voice came from not far away.

"Harvey, you should have come sooner, and you should have sent more people. Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"There is no way, because of the impact of the locust plague, there is a shortage of supplies in some places. We need to arrange people, or I'd have come over a long time ago. Harvey also sat directly beside Lao Liu, ignoring the so many locust corpses below.

"Should I say it or not, this time it's really not easy. Liu Wenrui said.

"Just look at these people on my farm, how can they still stand up and wander around? It's hard to keep up until now, and I haven't just slept through it. ”

"But I also have an idea now, at least in the future, when you encounter such a situation, your government department should arrange for people to run with the locusts and intercept them all the time. They won't become so rampant, and they won't be so struggling in the later stages. ”

Harvey glanced at him helplessly, "Your suggestion is indeed very good, but do you think it can really be realized? ”

"Just like now, the owners of the land behind you, they can only rejoice that you helped them keep these locusts at bay. There will be some thanks, but only thanks. ”

"People are selfish, especially when the economic situation in our country is still very poor. If so much money is spent just to eradicate locusts, I am afraid that there will be many people who oppose it. ”

"Simon, you're great, better than a lot of people. You have done something that many people dare not think about, let alone do, and it is really a miracle, and you deserve to be a person who is favored by the gods. ”

Lao Liu rolled his eyes, "Wait for me to rest for a while, and then let's have a hot pot." I'm going to have to take a good rest, I'm really tired. ”

"Hot pot? This can be had, and I have to insist on it again, at least I will sleep after I finish eating. Chen Cheng on the side interjected.

"It's all like this, are you still worried about eating?" Wang Shasha on the side was a little helpless.

"Haha, the people live on food. The rest of the people also had to tell the kitchen to prepare food and drink for them quickly, and they had to rest when they were full, otherwise their physical recovery would be slower. Liu Wenrui said.

"Don't worry about it, Master Wang and Master Xu have already led people to start stewing meat, and they will almost be able to eat it in a while. The stew takes longer and is easier for people to digest. Wang Shasha said.

"Simon, have you calculated how much money you spent this time?" asked Harvey curiously.

Lao Liu shook his head, "I really haven't counted it, and I haven't thought about it." Anyway, for the sake of these crops on my farm, this has to be done. ”

"Let's put it this way, if these locusts pass by and destroy the fields behind them, will I have to take out the food for charity when there is a shortage of food in the future?"

"Instead of spending at that time, it's better to reduce the loss now. As for saying that others thank you or not, I don't care, it's just playing. ”

"At least the chickens I raised have so many big grasshoppers, which can be eaten for a long time. I don't plan to waste these grasshoppers, but when the time comes, I will cook them, dry them, grind them, and give them to these chickens. ”

"Simon, are these things that you have thought about a long time ago?" Harvey looked at Lao Liu in surprise.

Lao Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How is it possible, I just thought of this when I saw that these chickens really love to eat these locusts." Otherwise, I don't know what to do with it, and it's too wasteful to bury it casually. ”

Harvey smiled and nodded, it wasn't far off. Otherwise, he would really think that Liu Wenrui had planned everything, and waited for the elimination of these locusts before continuing to make money.

Because it is not only those grains that are lacking in the market recently, but also chicken.

The locust plague may seem like a very ordinary disaster, but it can affect many industries. The rise in grain prices will inevitably lead to an increase in feed.

Many hatcheries and farms have either stopped hatching or scaled back when they see the signs of this. And this is still a nationwide contraction, not one or two.

It does not mean that Liu Wenrui has eliminated locusts here, and the broiler and layer industries can recover quickly. The speed increase is not so fast, and it will take more than three months at the earliest, when food prices really stabilize.

During this interim period, the price of chicken and eggs will definitely rise a lot. Liu Wenrui: How many chickens are there? At first, people thought it was a joke, but now these chickens are all treasures, and they will be very valuable.

If he asked Comrade Lao Liu more, Lao Liu would definitely tell him that he really didn't think so. At that time, I played with Crane in total, and I sent it for free anyway, so I kept it for fun.

Like Crane, the hatred between the two of them has risen to a certain height. Needless to say, big money, even if it is a penny or a shilling that can be taken advantage of, it is a success.

The reporters are still in high spirits, patting this and patting, Lao Liu drank a few boxes of yogurt, and rested for a while, which can be regarded as returning yang.

After a simple wash, I began to make a hot pot.

People are iron, and rice is steel. Now I'm hungry with my chest and back, and the hot pot is still very easy to make.

The most energetic is Xiao Miaomiao, who runs forward and backward with Lao Liu, and helps wash vegetables or something by the way. Helping Lao Liu work, this is also a little fun for her.

As for the injured birds, she had already taken care of them. There are so many winged ones, but she is so rare.

There were no major injuries, many of them failed to land when they fell, and they fell. After a few days of rest, you can continue to fly freely.

The hot pot is good, and the big guys are gathered around the table. Whether it's vegetables or meat, it tastes so fragrant. It's just that even Comrade Liu is a little worse today.

I'm really tired, even if I'm eating right now. Eat, eat, and yawn. I ate some more at random, and then I didn't care about Harvey, and went upstairs to catch up on sleep.
